LTO nagbabala vs. pagsakay ng bata sa overloaded tricycle
MAYNILA - Nagpaalala ang Land Transportation Office sa mga magulang at guardian ng mga estudyante na maging maingat sa pagpapasakay ng mga bata sa punuan na tricycles at motorsiklo, ngayong mas marami nang bata ang pumapasok sa in-person classes. Gustong nagmamadali yung mga bata winarningnan natin kasi interes pa rin natin yung safety ng mga bata," ani LTO Metro Manila director Clarence Guinto. Sa ilang lungsod gaya ng Quezon City, dapat apat lang ang naka-sakay sa tricycle, kabilang ang tsuper. Kung sasakay naman ng motorsiklo, nagpaalala ang LTO na dapat isa lang dapat ang naka-backride. Kung bata ang sakay nito, dapat umaabot ang paa sa foot peg, nakayakap nang maayos sa nagmamaneho at naka-helmet.

NPF-PSC’s endless clashes
IN recent weeks, and in typical fashion, a fresh cold war has been brewing between the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) headquarters and the Police Service Commission (PSC) over the recruitment of police constables. Following the NPF’s reaction, the PSC spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, told newsmen that the commission had taken note of the NPF’s publication with regard to the 2022 constable recruitment exercise. Incidentally, the PSC is headed by a former IGP, which should ordinarily make effective collaboration and cooperation easy and seamless. In virtually every government issue, the buck stops at a table, which should ensure that there are no petty and avoidable clashes and supremacy tussles. It is time those saddled with the responsibility of governance in the country sat up and saved Nigerians from meaningless clashes and supremacy tussles like the one between the PSC and the NPF.
